HD79275: MACHINING (NCINFRA) / LOCAL FEED RATE IS NOT RECALCULATED WHEN FEEDRATE UNIT IS CHANGED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Machining (NCInfra) / Local feed rate is not
  recalculated when feedrate unit is changed.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Select menu File -> New
  2. Select Process and click OK
  3. Click on Drilling icon Expand Part Operation.1
  from the tree and select Manufacturing Program.1
  4. On the Drilling window, select the last tab which
  is Macros

  7. Right click on the magenta line and select
  Feedrate -> Local
  8. Enter 1 in Feedrate value box and click OK
  9. Switch to Feeds and Speeds tab which is second
  from the right
  10. Under Feedrate section change Unit from Linear
  to Angular.
  Notice how all of the federate values are
  recalculated
  11. Go back to the last tab which is Macros
  12. Select Approach macro from the list
  13. Right click on the magenta line and select
  Feedrate -> Local
  14. Notice the Feedrate value is still 1 but now it is
  inches per turn (revolutions). It should have been
  recalculated just like the other federates. The same
  problem happens with Retract macro as well.
  The problem exists on both 32 and 64bit platforms.

  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The local federate should be recalculated as per
